The roles of the Nigerian youths in the emergence of a new Nigeria

-

Nigeria is a diverse country with a population of over 200million people belonging to one of the over 250 ethnic group. She is ranked as the 27th largest economy in the world in terms of Gross domestic product, Number one (1) in Africa with the largest economy hence the name Giant of Africa.


Nigeria Practices a representative democratic system of government enacted  by the 1999 constitution but relative to this,Nigeria's democratic system has no respect for the rule of law.


In October 1960, an act by the British parliament enabled Nigeria gain her independence and the early freedom fighters believed Nigeria will be a key destination for global investment and various public partnership but in retrospect, the Nigeria of today is one without a Durable system of law, institutions, norms and community commitment. 


Consequently, the system does not deliver accountability, just law, open government,impartial justice and total transparency. Hence the need for a new Nigeria as in the Nigeria of our dream cannot be overemphasized.


A new Nigeria is one that priories human rights, ensures citizens safety, treats every individual with fairness and equity. The new Nigeria that you and i want cannot be done in a Non-Inclusive system of government.


According to Statista,youths account for 70% of Nigeria's total population but less than 1% are public office holders as youth inclusion and participation is low.


A popular adage says of what use is the head when the root is destroyed, youths are the root ,the bedrock and futute of this country. Youths need to get involved in the political system of this country to bridge the gap between disengaged and  unjust  political processes. Youths have the ability to create an identity for themselves as well as challenge the status quo of the economy.


In conclusion, we as youths need to unite with one voice to fight for a cause to get involved and to be seen as agents of change. Hence, the emergence of a new Nigeria.

                 Words desperately flee me Expressions fail to define, to define my flaws. Untold tales told only by my scars and thaws Who can save me? Who can set free? Dancing endlessly,to drums of my flaws tuned, Clasped behind the cloak of imperfection. Savoring my days and nights in disaffection, Engulfed, in my bruises always attuned. Alas! I am but careless and reckless. Imperfect, vulnerable and unwanted. Hard hours haunted, in nightmares hunted. Bold bruise,  Sweet scared, fiercely fearless and flawed flawless

COVID 19 and THE POST COVID ERA- A Nigerian Perspective

-
By now i want to assume that the Doubting Thomas in some people who are still of the opinion that covid 19  is not real has now been erased by the daily rise in the statistics of confirmed cases all over the world. On the 30th day of January 2020, the World Health Organisation declared Corona Virus Disease as a Pandemic as well as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern. This is not the first neither is it going to be the last history is going to experience. Strange right? As pessimistic as this might sound, 2020 started like "THE" year for most people especially Nigerians due to the socio-cultural and religious affliations 2020 possess as a special Palindromic number. A year of multiple weddings, increased babies, more academic acheivements amongst others not until Corona virus disease( COVID 19 )crept into Nigeria leaving her over 180million people shiver at the sound of it all thanks to Wuhan City China. Corona Virus disease according to World Health Organisat...
